340 front tie bar bushes
340 front tie bar bushes
My front tie bar bushes are cracking. I have been told you cant get replacements. Do any other car make have similar. I would prefer rubber not poly as there are too many speed humps herabouts .
thanks, Steve

Re: 340 front tie bar bushes
Steve, do you mean the bushes in the tie rod ends? If so, the t/r/e themselves are relatively easy to source and are quite cheap!

Re: 340 front tie bar bushes
Thats right ,they are at the end of the front tie bar. Last year the mot tester put on an advisory but implied they were unobtainable from Volvo(the local Volvo main dealer has closed down). Have you found them at a motor factors? Would like to replace them shortly so be most interested of your supplier.
Thanks, Steve

Re: 340 front tie bar bushes
I'd check Ebay first:
http://tinyurl.com/300tierodend
these ones are original Volvo (I can recommend the seller):
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0322497057
otherwise try searching for a part number like
TRW JTE338 (TRW made the original PAS racks for example, they might be good to try)

Re: 340 front tie bar bushes
The problem with those Ebay links (all of them except volvo_et_vendo) is... they don't claim actually selling TRW (etc.) parts, just equivalent to OE part no. this, and TRW (etc.) part no. that. But the good thing is, you get a list of the fairly many types of cars that have the same tie rod ends as the 300 series. One more part that may be NLA at the Volvo dealer, but will definitely be available for a long long time to come.

Re: 340 front tie bar bushes
We seem to be mixing description. Your links show what we call in english ,track rod ball joints . I am after the rubber cushions with holes that fix on the end of the front stabiliser bars!

Re: 340 front tie bar bushes
Sorry, I thought tie bars / track rods were the same ...
Front stabilisor bars: do you mean something like this?

Re: 340 front tie bar bushes
if it nis the 4 triangular bushes that you need volvo still had them about 6-7 month ago worth a try
Re: 340 front tie bar bushes
Yes, they are triangular/conical. I found them listed under "nordic volvo" so looks like they are still available. So much for listening to the mot tester!
